[iTunes] No sync option in "Photos" tab for iPad Pro

Hello,


I'd like to get some photos in the Photos library from my external drive connected to my Mac to my iPad Pro. When I plugged the iPad Pro into my Mac and opened up iTunes, I found out there's no any sync option for me to select in the Fotos tab, just a line of words telling me that iCloud Photos is activated.


Can someone help? Thanks a lot.

When you have iCloud Photo Library turned on in a device, you cannot use iTunes to sync photos from a computer to that device. You can upload photos manually using the computer browser (e.g., Safari) to the Photos app at www.icloud.com and they will then automatically sync to the device. Another option suggested in the link below is to use AirDrop.
